Safety regulations

Fire/furnishing regulations
The Landlord must ensure his contents (including beds and furnishings) comply with the fire/furnishing regulations amended 1993.

Gas regulations 1994
The letting of a property is now closely regulated with regard to gas safety and makes particular demand regarding the safety servicing and inspection of the gas, pipework and appliances within the property.

From October 1st 1994 it became law for gas equipment in rented property to be checked annually by a Corgi registered installer and for the Landlord to keep accurate records of work carried out on all appliances in their control. It is the duty of the person who owns the gas appliance or any pipework installed in the premises let by him/her to ensure that such an appliance or installed pipework is maintained and checked annually for safety.

Electricity obligations
The Electricity at Work Act 1990; Low Voltage electrical equipment (safety) regulations 1989 require all protable electrical equipment supplied by the Landlord to be correctly maintained and safe for use.
